Season 2
Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume AI
Ripped by toonlink

Okay, so Septemberposting may be over - but in the process of looking for other Earth, Wind & Fire songs to use for the posts earlier in the week, I rediscovered an absolute gem. A gem by, of course, none other than the legend toonlink himself - arguably the best ripper of them all in the early seasons of the channel.
That proficiency alone almost guarantees any rip he works on is one for the playlists, yet we've got something else to discuss here: Driftveil City from Pokémon Black and White. In all the years Pokémon games have been releasing, its hard to find one city theme that is as unanimously beloved as Driftveil City - its vibe and beat is simply unmatched, and several YouTube uploads of the theme have view counts in the millions. Its a theme whose sheer groove and quality transcends just Pokémon fans and unites people all over to sit down and jam.
Which, too, is what DRIFTVEIL CITY JUST GOT A TON MORE GROOVIER does to SiIvaGunner viewers - arranging Earth, Wind & Fire's Let's Groove into the tune of the theme. Its a perfect match for the city's original soundscape, and uses both instruments from the original track as well as ones from the Driftveil City Gym in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. The grooviness of both pieces are channelled into every part of the rip, from the percussion, lead and background instruments, and the intro still channelling Driftveil City's original intro.
Its hard to find much to say on rips that are so effective in being perfect - when toonlink wasn't aiming for the stars, he still took the time to refine his craft to be damn near infallible. Even back on my first listen in 2017, it was rips like this that would regularly remind me of just how good the people behind SiIvaGunner were at their hobby.
Made yet another one of these edits of Bingo and Bandit's dancing scene in "Daddy Putdown". I actually made all three of these edits back-to-back and I just wanted to have space between posts. This time, it's set to "Let's Groove" by Earth, Wind, & Fire. This one is kinda special because I used to love listening to this with my mom when I was around Bingo's age. Enjoy and, once again, shout out to my trans big brother (@warcrimetime). Hope you get a kick out of watching this high.
"Come on, Dontron, you know it always makes you feel better!"
"....Fine, but just this one song."
(They went on to dance to an entire Playlist till 3:30am when Raph forced them to go to bed.)
Sometimes after a failed mission, or just a rough day with the kids, Donnie needs to de-stress, and Tamsin knows exactly what can get her grumpy husband out if his mopy state... Dancing~✨️💜
Me and @doodle88 spent a night watching Kronks New Groove and we just couldn't resist drawing the Dance scene, it's too good to be forgotten 😭😭

Fred White, the formerdrummer of Earth, Wind & Fire, has died, according to his brother Verdine. He was 67.
“Our family is saddened today with the loss of an amazing and talented family member, our beloved brother Frederick Eugene ‘Freddie’ White,” Verdine, a former bandmate, wrote in a social media post sharing the news.
Verdine described his brother as a “wonderful bro” who was “always entertaining and delightfully mischievious.”
“He will live in our hearts forever, rest in power beloved Freddie!!
Lecture 15: The (then) “futuristic” pop dance hit “Let’s Groove” (1981) by Earth, Wind & Fire, (EWF) showed that some disco groups of the era enjoyed staying power into the early 1980s. Deeply rooted in jazz and R&B traditions, EWF scored their first Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in 1975 with the funk song “Shining Star.” The band enjoyed a string of Top 10 hits until this song came out six years later. “Let’s Groove” reached #3 on the Hot 100 in 1981, marking the end of their successful run. Band member Philip Bailey went on to score a major hit with Phil Collins when the two performed the dance song “Easy Lover,” released at the end of 1984. By this time, EWF’s star was fading. The band’s songs would continue to chart, but nothing like their heyday from ‘75 to ‘81.

TRANSCRIPT BELOW
John Dory: No- How about we head back to pop village and sort this troll out
Floyd: I agree
Clay: I'm on to you John..
Branch: mmm.. if we have too
Past Jd: WAHHHHH
IN RHONDA
Past Jd sniffles and Rhonda is unnerved
Branch (internally): OH MY TROLL... why does this troll look so familiar. John Dory said it WASNT his kid but that doesn't explain why they look so similar- and the way John Dory acted earlier- AND THE WORM-
Young Branch: Grandma? What did my brothers do when they were here?
Rosiepuff: Ahh your brothers! Well.. let me think now
Floyd was fascinated about leaving the tree. he'd learned that many years ago other trolls had left, so why couldn't we?
Clay loved to read! I swear that boy read a new one everyday! He tended to gravitate to the sadder ones..
Spruce loved his "me time" or at least that's what he would call it. He loved to just take a moment out of the day and just relax.
I really need to take a page outta his book huh? hehe
Roisepuff: And John Dory
oh that boy always LOVED outside. He'd be out there for hours and when he'd come back he would always look a MESS! I'd always had to pick the sticks and leaves outta his hair
Branch: no... that doesn't make sense... this troll surely isnt JOHN DORY right??
a check list next to Past JD says
looks a mess
brozone pants?
leaves/sticks in hair
Johns goggles
TINY RHONDA???
Branch: This cannot be the same troll that left me
Danny’s parents want to kill him and he’s like “f in the chat y’all dinner boutta be so awkward tonight smh”
Ok so I know everyone loves the angsty headcannons where Danny is terrified of his parents cuz they wanna kill him but we’ve had that hot take since 2005 I’m here for a source material revival, the much more entertaining “Danny’s parents want to kill him and he actively doesn’t give a fuck”
CUZ UH, IM REWATCHING THE FIRST SEASON AND I FORGOT HOW GENUINELY BLASÉ HE IS ABOUT MADDIE AND JACK TRYING TO GET HIS ASS ITS SO FUNNY.
Like mom holding a literal ghost gun to his head: eh kinda unphased he even has time to quip, his parents say they wanna tear em to pieces: meh see u guys at dinner, LIKE OUR GUY IS SO UNPHASED HE THINKS THIS SHIT IS FUNNY! (s1 ep. 14 public enemy)
And he’s unphased despite knowing his parents tech works and knowing that his mother is actually a good shot. So like I love angst Danny and y’all should keep up the good work but where is my s1 Danny ‘COULDN’T give less of a fuck about his parents’ Fenton representation?
Cuz think of this, for your DPXDC AU consideration, Danny would fit in so well with the bat gang if only because they could try to stab, shoot, capture, brainwash, and stalk him and he’d be like “oh cool villain of the week shit? Nice, what’re we having for lunch.” He. Wouldn’t. Flinch.
Great egrets: masters of the art of striking a pose with grace beyond measure. With a slow, sassy strut, they wade through the waters in pursuit of their aquatic prey. Showcasing their prowess as ambush predators, these birds are striking in more than one way! Nature’s choreography unfolds in the rhythmic dance of these feathered maestros.
